Hello everyone,

Here is a song from the Digital Tradition database.

OUR BABY DIED LAST NIGHT

Our baby died last night
It only lived for 24 hours
And it cost a hundred dollars
It was a lousy baby, anyway

Its head had turned into mush
It squushed between our fingers
Its sticky blood still lingers
It was a lousy baby, anyway

It soiled a dozen diapers;
And died for just to spite us
Of spinal meningitis
It was a lousy baby, anyway

I have a version of this song form the Korat AFB (ca 1970) which goes:

Spoken: Boys, my baby died last night.

Sung:

Oh, my baby died
She died of suicide
She died to spite us
Of spinal meningitis
She wasn't a good baby, anyway
So we ate her, yum yum.

Does anyone sing this song? If yes, where / when did you learn the song?

Yours,

John Mehlberg
